Don't know too much myself Ian (and Dave knows even less I think ) but if you have 320 bhp, I would get some serious suspension and brakes - then some driving lessons from Giles Panizzi - job sorted

Dave, I don't know how much power mines running - but IT IS RUNNING where is yours at the moment - sorry - where are the boxes yours is in at the moment !! LOL That day at Well Lane is looming up m8 - your gonna be a busy boy. No more nights out for you , you'll have to be scooby building......

My main issue with the STi is the Turbo lag.

Pulling out of junctions at the moment is a complete joke!

If I don't remember to slip the clutch and get the revs at approx 4,000 rpm it chuggs like a go-kart from a standing start.

I hear (and we'll see tonight) that the PPP goes along way towards clearing this but anything else I can do to improve the problem is high on my list.

The other side is just making more of the sound the STi can generate. I think I remember reading something about replacing the dump valve that makes it sound really cool but I might be wrong.

No doubt I'll pick your brain next time we tie up. I just have to make sure I don't drink too much and forget it all again

Just heard from KT Greens that one of my bolts it stuck in the turbo so I may not get the car back tonight.

For one more day I can wait, I'd rather have it right that rushed - trust me for opening my gob too soon!

Dave, the PPP gives just over 300bhp, 0-60 of 4.6 seconds, way more torque, especially in higher gears. It lops over 3 seconds off the 60-80 time in 6th which will make overtaking on the M1 a tad easier on the gear changes. Fits the bill for my driving day.

We are all style victims and power hungry when it comes to our Scoobs.

Where do I live? Well, a very short walk from Moortown Corner or a long stagger from the Deer Park / Flying P.

My office is in Leeds but I am out and about most days clocking up around 25K a year in the Scoob. Everywhere from Southampton to Glasgow and points between in a typical month. Gives me a chance to play with the toy.

Ken

nice one.. ken if you fancy meeting for a pint.. then drop me a mail.. I understand that you wont say... hopefully these two would vouch for me as they have met me...


I meant that if you want more power then you shouldnt have bothered with the ppp...

get a 3" exhaust... Air Filter... Gems, Pectel, Motech, Ecutek... Etc.. Fmic, Injectors, Turbo... etc...you must be not far from 400...

but suspension, brakes and big ***** are quicker..

Got a K&N panel from my old Prodrived MY00 complete with cleaner and oil, free to anyone that wants it, only did about 5K with it in. I'll stick with the paper filter.

I need the upgrade but I need the warranty as well - too many company miles to take the risk with 3rd party mods.

A pint (or two, or three) sounds a good idea to me.
